CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program built upon constantly varied, high-intensity functional movements to develop strength and increase endurance, preparing you for any physically demanding situation. Rather than working muscles in isolation, CrossFit exercises involve the entire body, a method that gets balanced results much quicker than traditional programs. It uses Olympic lifting progressions, basic gymnastic skills and high-intensity metabolic conditioning combined with many other movements. 

In general, CrossFit workouts can be pretty brutal. They run the gamut from extremely easy to difficult, to utterly vicious and borderline insane. Regardless, all of these WODs (that's workout of the days) will challenge you as long as you are giving them your all. If you're curious and seek an improved you, it's worth it.
